17. That "compressed" sound you're hearing may be a result of
the covered orchestra pit at Bayreuth. The front of the pit is shielded from the view of the audience while open to the singers on stage. The effect in the house is to slightly muffle the sound and take the edge off the orchestra.
In addition, the Böhm recording is an analog recording made from microphones placed in the house. But I love the sweep and the excitement of the performers caught on the fly.
